Whatever Matt Feels Like Posting

Sorry I haven't been able to post in a while. That semester was so intense, I rarely even had enough free time to complain about it on LiveJournal!

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that a) everything I know on LJ except my journal has dramatically changed in the time that I haven't posted, just like it did the last time I went a month or so without posting, and b) I'm not going to be able to adequately make up for the lack of posts. But I guess I'll try anyway by posting how I generally felt about each class:

( And sorry for forgetting to put a LJ-cut at first :( )

And... that's about all I can do to catch up on posting for now. I'd have posted more quiz/meme reruns if I'd done any quizzes or memes between 5 years before my last entry and 5 years before this entry, but as it is, the next one's still not until the 14th.

Disprove the result "If this entry has
anything you'd want to repost, then
18 is prime"

Well, I finished my last final today! Yay!!! :D

I'd enjoy it more if I didn't still occasionally get depressed about what I've taken to calling the Forbidden Comment Threads even though I haven't even read them in the past two weeks, though :(

But yay for the semester being over!

Awesome! (these repost buttons are getting
less original by the minute...)

EDIT WAY LATER: It turns out that there are two guys in my college dorm named Mark, so in order to keep things from getting weird if either of them gets a LiveJournal (if they don't have one already) and friend me, I have renamed my possible other personality Mark1993 rather than just Mark.

I did pretty well on my Spanish final. I didn't get to finish translating the whole thing I had written, but I got most of it translated, and it's past the 100-word minimum anyway. My teacher says that I can finish it after Christmas break (and she's allowing 3 of my classmates to do the same). Yay for Christmas break!!

Also, you know how I am easily distracted while listening or reading because any given word or phrase might remind me of something else that I start thinking about instead until it reminds me of something else, and so on - and it also happens just because I'm bored? Well, for a while now I've thought of the kind of mistakes I make while doing that as my subconscious taking over and trying (and almost always failing) to do everything based entirely on instinct like a robot. I've recently started reading The Bird's Nest by Shirley Jackson, which is about a girl with multiple personalities, and I got to thinking: What if I have multiple (or double, at least) personalities, and the robotic/instinct/habit decisions aren't made by my subconscious, but by my other personality?

( EDIT IN 2018: This sounds so dumb now. I'm putting it under a cut. )

Post to your journal!

Well, my midterms began today.

Government - For our Government midterm (or technically final, since we only have it one semester), we pretended to be the House of Representatives and the Senate, came up with one House bill and one Senate bill yesterday, and today we had a mock debate on which to pass. I had trouble coming up with a point to make that someone else hadn't already made; I only managed to do so once. :(

Bible - Our "midterm" was just to write a little about what we liked and didn't like about Bible class this year and what should be different next year.

Physics - Since Physics is basically math, I had no problem with it :)

Tomorrow are the two hardest classes - English and Speech. Blah. Bleh. Blih. Bloh. Bluh. And sometimes blyh.

In other news, I don't know why I didn't mention this before, but on Saturday I took the ACT for the last time with accommodations. I completed all of the multiple-choice sections! However, I only managed to write two paragraphs for the essay :(

EDIT: Whoa, 550th post! :D

An entry walks 164.2 km to your journal in 206 seconds. What is its average velocity?

Out of the exams I took today, I'm the most confident about the anatomy exam, since my teacher graded all of the exams before class ended and said I made an A+. I'm the second-most confident about the Bible exam since all four students were allowed to take it as a group, then history because although I only forgot the answers to two short-answer questions, I didn't have a lot of time to write the essay (though it didn't have to be five-paragraph).

Tomorrow is an English exam consisting of four essay questions. Blah.

Repost with flying colors

Someone get me to stop procrastinating writing notes for the essays on my history and English exams.

So last Thursday (I think), being a current member of the National Honor Society at my school, I went to the induction ceremony for the new members. Something really funny happened there; the current president of my school's NHS lit the candle that represented the "eternal" light of knowledge, but two candles later, it went out, so I said, "The apocalypse is coming!!"

I don't think I'll get to check my friends page for a while since I'm having to work on the final project for HAS. :(

Blow out the candle
